Initial Query

I want to call some C code from python on a linux machine. Specifically, I want to be able to run python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.do_add(3, 4))' and have it give me the sum of these numbers. Here, do_add should be a C function that adds two integers. Please give me a complete set of instructions for how to make this run, so that when I run this code as-is it will work.

I want to call some C code from python on a linux machine. Specifically, I want to be able to run python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.do_add(3, 4))' and have it give me the sum of these numbers. Here, do_add should be a C function that adds two integers. Please give me a complete set of instructions for how to make this run, so that when I run this code as-is it will work.

Output

Here's a step-by-step guide to create a Python C extension for adding two numbers: 1. **Create a C file** (`magic.c`) with the following content:

#include <Python.h>

static PyObject* do_add(PyObject* self, PyObject* args) {
    int a, b;
    if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "ii", &a, &b)) {
        return NULL;
    }
    return PyLong_FromLong(a + b);
}

static PyMethodDef magic_methods[] = {
    {"do_add", do_add, METH_VARARGS, "Add two integers"},
    {NULL, NULL, 0, NULL}
};

static struct PyModuleDef magic_module = {
    PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT,
    "magic",
    NULL,
    -1,
    magic_methods
};

PyMODINIT_FUNC PyInit_magic(void) {
    return PyModule_Create(&magic_module);
}
2. **Install required dependencies** (if not already installed):
1
sudo apt-get install python3-dev gcc
3. **Compile the C extension**:
1
gcc -shared -o magic.so -fPIC magic.c $(python3-config --cflags --ldflags)
4. **Test the Python module**:
1
python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.do_add(3, 4))'
This should output:
1
7
**Notes:** - The compiled `magic.so` must be in your Python path or current directory - The filename (`magic.so`) must match the module name (`magic`) in the import statement - The Python version used to compile must match the Python version you're using to run The key components are: 1. Proper argument parsing with `PyArg_ParseTuple` 2. Method table definition with `PyMethodDef` 3. Module definition with `PyModuleDef` 4. Correct initialization function name (`PyInit_<module_name>`) 5. Proper compilation flags from `python3-config`

Query

Now please conver this answer into a JSON array that packages it all up so I don't need to think and can just copy files to specific locations and then run things. Format your answer {"path/to/file": "contents of C file", "path/to/python_file": "contents of any necessary python file that exposes do_add", "build.sh": "contents of a bash file to build the project", ... # any other files necessary } The only thing I will do is put files in the right place and run `bash build.sh`. Do not give any explanation of the code. ONLY ANSWER WITH A SINGLE JSON OBJECT. Your answer should start
